Induction Gear Hardening: Part 2
This is the second installment of a two-part article on induction hardening of gears and gear-like components. Part 1 was […]
Fatigue Performance and Cleanliness of Carburizing Steels for Gears
The cleanliness of steels used for gears is of great importance when looking to improve their life or increase loads. […]
Extending gear life in demanding applications
Although gears and other precision components are generally made of hardened steel or metal alloys, those used in high load […]
Advanced Thermal Processing for Enhanced Gear Tribology
Abstract Vast empirical knowledge accumulated over centuries, in conjunction with recent advances in the areas of material science, tribology, and […]
An Experimental and Analytical Comparison of the Noise Generated by Gears of Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) and Steel Materials
Over the years, there have been many claims made concerning the relative noise performance of austempered ductile iron (ADI) versus […]
Contact Ratio Optimization of Powder-Metal Gears
Powder metal (PM) alloys are becoming more of a solution for high-performance gears, not only because of part price but […]
Case Study: How Advanced Gearbox Testing Drove the Need for the Lost Foam Casting Process
For decades, powertrain test systems incorporated custom test stand gearboxes constructed with fabricated gearbox housings. In some cases, fabricated housings […]
